TERRI THOMPSON DESIGN
Brand strategy, design, and packaging:
Built to win.
We design the brand and packaging that gets a product onto the shelf. From first-time retail launches like Burroughs Family Farms and Cliganic to concept work for names like DiGiorno, Ajinomoto, and Lee Kum Kee.

Capabilities
Everything a product needs between concept and checkout.
01Brand Strategy
Positioning, naming, and messaging that give a product an actual reason to exist, something sharper than "better ingredients" and more memorable than a clever tagline.
02Concept Design
Structural and graphic systems built to perform in retail and online, holding up under studio lighting, a phone camera, and a crowded shelf all at once.
03Art Direction
Photography direction and creative oversight from concept to final asset, because a beautiful photo of the wrong thing still won't sell a single unit.
04Production
Print-ready artwork and technical specs, prepared and released directly to your printer or manufacturer, where the concept becomes something you can actually make.
05Marketing Collateral
Campaign assets across print, digital, and in-store, built from one consistent brand system so nothing looks like it wandered in from a different company.
How We Work
From first sketch to the printer's file: one throughline, start to finish.
01. Strategy & Positioning
Know what you're up against
Understand the product, the shelf it's competing on, and the reason a shopper should reach for it over what's next to it.
02. Concept
Explore the directions
Name, logo, and packaging structure explored across a small set of real creative directions, not just one safe option.
03. Refinement
Sharpen the one that works
One direction, refined until every design and copy detail is doing its job. No loose ends.
04. Production
Get it made
Print-ready artwork and technical specs, released directly to your printer or manufacturer.
Studio
Terri Thompson Design is a Los Angeles studio built around one thing: getting consumers to choose your brand over the one sitting right next to it.
Founded in 2014 by art director Terri Thompson, the studio partners with small businesses and established brands alike, from first-time retail launches to national concept work, bringing senior-level strategy, art direction, and packaging design to every project without agency overhead.
